So they combined 8th gen and 7th gen consoles...then threw a handheld in for a crutch? Why isn't this just called 3DS>Xbox?

Funny thing is that isn't even the case right now.

3DS is doing 25k~ a week in the US not 40k. Europe is likely similar, and Japan is dropping below 30k.

After Titanfall and release in more countries XB1 should be beating every Nintendo system.

How so? Xb 1 is already selling in all the markets that make up the vast majority of a console's sales. On a long term basis adding another 30 countries will probably lift Xb one weekly sales by about 10-15% above what they are currently. And TF will only have a short term effect. If you'd said after a $100 price cut the claim might be more credible. At least this guy is using actual sales data (albeit estimates with a sizeable MoE) not conjecture about what things will be like in a week's time and beyond.

Besides even if the numbers you're suggesting for 3DS are true, 25+25+30 > 57. So it is still the case right now.
